Soon the ship of Sokutus Deran, which had gone to negotiate, slowly turned to return from the front,

She stood on the side of the boat and waited, her purple dress fluttering in the wind,

To her right there were two more nobles,

One of them, a handsome young man in a well-fitting straight dress, talked attentively beside Sokutus Delan,

His face glowed with excitement,

Obviously, this young man did not expect to meet a beautiful NV of the level of Sokutus Delan on the vast sea,

And he seems to be the leader of this merchant fleet,

It's a bonus.

If you can get this NV person into the house, isn't it equivalent to getting these dozens of merchant ships?

Such wealth is enough to allow oneself to gain greater respect in the family,

With a strong family background, he has already defined his action this time as "hunting"

It's just that he doesn't know,

This sets the background for the "yànsè" argument that he thinks is nine out of ten, and even his father will be terrified

Next to the young nobleman was a middle-aged nobleman with a strong build,

Dressed in a long coat of ink sè and wearing a feather máo hat on his head, he looked at the fleet in front of him from time to time with a pair of sharp eyes

is different from the young man next to him who only has NV people in his eyes,

His gaze was more on the approaching flotilla,

Thirty merchant ships have been lined up in three inclined lines at the moment, with 6 largest merchant ships at the front and 12 medium-sized merchant ships in the middle.

At the end are twelve small transport ships, like three long buoys, quietly floating up and down with the sea.

This very strange arrangement made this well-informed middle-aged captain clench his fists, his two eyebrows twisted together, and his face became more and more dignified.

He now regrets a little that he would listen to rumors to stop this fleet,

This layout of the other side has a pronounced military sè color,

This line attack arrangement has been heard only in the Vikia Navy,

If it weren't for the fact that I had a few friends who served in the Navy, I might have ignored them

This is not a good phenomenon, if the other side is not a ship of the navy, then there must be a naval officer in this fleet"

Thinking that his target might have something to do with the navy, the middle-aged captain's face turned slightly pale,

There was a faint bitter taste in his mouth, and this time he hit the iron plate

The power of the navy may not be obvious relative to the famous army of Vichia,

But in this sea, the authority of the navy is supreme,

They defeated Dylans and fought in the Western Sea, proving with their own strength who is the true master of this world

If the Navy wants to pursue this matter, it only needs a small notice to leave itself with no hiding place in this sea

"Get on board, my master wants you to be careful with your words when you speak"

As the ships leaned against each other, Sokutus Stellan waved impatiently,

The pretty snow-white face was full of coldness, for this young nobleman who was boastful and self-righteous in his ear,

If it weren't for his father's identity, he would have kicked him off the side of the ship a long time ago, but he still reminded him out of professional instinct

"Of course, I won't embarrass the beautiful lady, as long as I can make the lady happy, we are not completely unkind"

The young nobleman's face was stunned for a moment, and then there was a touch of joy.

He thought that Socutus Dylan was interested in him, and after a pretended gesture to return the salute, he trembled and walked up to the barrier between the two ships.

Seeing the timidity of the young nobleman, Sokutus Dylan frowned even more,

The middle-aged captain next to him walked up to the baffle very nervously,

Just as he was about to jump off the deck of the ship, his body suddenly trembled,

The keen eye, just caught something that frightened him,

On the decks of some of the opposing ships, he saw a group of ship-borne soldiers in black sè heavy armor who were waiting for battle,

Wearing the standard armor that only Vekia's regular infantry can have,

Such a thing could never have appeared in the merchant fleet,

On the raised platforms of some ship decks, the silhouettes of several arc-shaped weapons were faintly visible,

It was a giant weapon several meters long, with a long curved handle with a terrifying hideous, long crossbow arrow that flashed with cold light, and lay quietly on it,

The middle-aged captain knows that it's called a heavy crossbow,

Its power can dòng pierce a heavy knight 400 meters away, and it is a super killer weapon in the Vikia army.

Its custody can be described as strict, it is said that the price of a heavy crossbow has been speculated on the black market to 10,000 gold coins.

That's how it's hard to buy,

Because these heavy weapons have their own numbers on them, they are not only protected by heavy soldiers, but they also have to be checked every two days.

There have also been incidents of missing ballistas,

It is said that it was the order of the Grand Duke himself, and not only the officers in charge of custody were punished, but also the local underground forces were washed in thunderous blood.

As long as the characters of the underground forces who appeared in the local area at that time, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, were all arrested and put in prison,

A period of three days, if the missing ballista cannot be found, all of them will be executed for treason,

Along the way, the roads were strictly investigated, and finally in a small river not far from the theft site, the heavy ballista that had been crushed was fished out.

Since then, no one has dared to touch these "contraband",

Because everyone knows that there is no life for money, everything is a white tower,

If you want to transport these contraband through the domestic trade route of Guò Vecchia, they will be checked immediately when they are loaded.

Cào loading in various places must have the inspection stamp of the trade office.

Even if it is a qiēshun lì, it is difficult to pass through the various lines of defense on the border, and after going abroad, it will not leak a little wind.

That's a gamble on the lives of the whole clan

Taking the name card in Sokutus Delan's hand, the fat man finally understood why Sokutus Delan would bring these two back,

He is one of the twelve deacons of the Business Alliance, mainly responsible for the export trade to the southwest seas, and his status is ranked fourth in the Business Alliance.

With the rise of maritime power, the position of Horile has become more and more important.

In general, this Ho Ruile character is not bad,

He has a certain reputation among merchants, and is a representative of the early Samar era, where Octavia perceived the great cháo of the times, and took the initiative to transform from a great aristocrat to a large merchant.

In terms of maritime trade, with a very good vision,

In today's parlance, it is to dare to bet,

This is also the reason why the fat man appointed him as the head of the Southwest Sea Trade,

Right and wrong are inherently indistinguishable things, and some can only be intentional

It is impossible for a legalistic old-fashioned school to make maritime trade a strong economic pillar that surpasses land trade in the future.

Only a leader who dares to fight can be realized,

This person must first have eyes and courage together, and have a grand reputation, and Horrell is undoubtedly the best candidate.

At last month's deacon's meeting, this Horrell proposed a proposal that was very much in line with the fat man's heart.

"Ship Leasing Measures"

In order to facilitate the rapid transformation of some mainland businessmen to maritime trade,

He proposed to the business alliance that a fifth of the profits from the quarterly maritime trade be offered to the official shipyards to build ships and then leased to the sī people for use.

The merchant only needs a deposit of 3,000 gold coins to get a ship capable of crossing the southern strait,

If you can pay off the principal and interest within three years, the ship will be your own.

The interest is a bit heavier, reaching fifty percent,

But for both sides, it is undoubtedly a useful attempt, even if it can't be paid off within 3 years, it won't lose much if you count the trade gains.

This approach is somewhat similar to the development fund in the later company system, which rolls over funds with funds.

It is undoubtedly extremely appropriate to promote more merchants to participate in maritime trade at this stage.

The cost of an ordinary merchant ship is more than 10,000 gold coins,

If it is a large merchant ship, it will cost at least 30,000 gold coins, which is a number that is difficult for many small and medium-sized merchants to hope for.

With this method, it can be seen that the entire southern sea area of Vekia will become the busiest business area on the entire continent.

Of course, in the eyes of the fat man, this is a grand strategy,

He saw not so much the profits of the maritime trade, but the regional impact it had.

More than a dozen large and small cities along the coast, as well as about one-third of the population of Vekia, will benefit from this strategy.

The dense business links will expand the area into a huge business district, enough to add another super engine to the already powerful Vekia

"Who are you from Horile?" asked the fat man, looking up.

Ever since the two of them got on the boat, a young man was dumbfounded the moment he saw Máo, opened his mouth, and couldn't close it, obviously shocked by the beauty of Máo

And the other middle-aged captain was sweating like rain, and his face was ugly purple, as if he was aware of something.

For the frivolity of the young man next to him, the middle-aged captain was also eager to kick his feet.

I can't even tell the most basic situation, and I don't know why Lord He Ruile would send such a second ancestor to preside over this matter.

The middle-aged captain scolded secretly,

The house is about to burn down here, this master is still in a dream, can't he see that these NV people don't care about him at all?

This shows that in the eyes of the other party, the He Ruile family is not taken into account at all

If the NV man just now gave people a feeling of arrogance and compulsion, the fat man in front of him was even more terrifying.

Looking at oneself with a gaze like a sharp blade, bringing a kind of scorching cold,

Although the words are tepid, this kind of talent is the most terrifying, and his face is indifferent, as if he has seen through a qiē,

Calling one's master's name is as casual as calling a servant with a little status,

This is the table xiàn of the really big guys

"I, we're Lord Horrele's second fleet"

The middle-aged captain didn't dare to breathe, his eyes looked at the fat man, and he puffed up his courage to say

"Ordered to investigate here a group of sī goods, our workers in the port reported that there are contraband in your fleet"
